Today's Red Leaf Tea Special

Thank you everyone for the recommendations for the proof reader project. I really did not expect to get so many. I was not sure who to pick so to be kind of fair I started with the first on that came to me.
Once again thank you for helping me. Much appreciated.

Great idea! I know at Tin Roof Teas, or perhaps all Teageschwender shops, they give you a free teaspoon sized spoon when you make a purchase, so having the large size for the matcha mix would be awesome. Way to go, Rachel!

I’m going to my second half of sampling(the hot ones) today so I should have the survey filled out by tonight. I’m only going to do half cups today though so I don’t get caffeine over load seeing as how I can’t stop myself from drinking other teas over the course of the day.

How much caffeine is in one serving of caramel matchachino ?

Rachel’s idea for the measuring spoon is great. I think my family gets cranky that I’m always stealing the kitchen measuring spoons for my matcha.

There’s not that much caffeine in this mix. A round of 1/2 of what coffee cup would have. It’s more about how sensitive are you to caffeine. I can drink coffee and go to sleep 30 minutes later. When I started to drink matcha late I could not sleep half the night as if was some different type of caffeine and my body was reacting to it. Now it’s just like coffee. Some days I have 3 cups of matcha so that I don’t feel sleepy during the day.
Think of it this way: if you have too much and can not sleep, at least you’ll have time to do the survey. It’s a win-win. :-)

The survey shouldn’t take me long to fill out because I’ve been taking lots of notes. I’ve finished all the cold samples and am on the first hot right now. I want to have them all done before 4pm so it doesn’t mess with my sleep.

Thank you again for giving us this great opportunity to be a part of tea history! I can totally see my non tea drinking friends getting hooked on this stuff.

This will be a project for later. First I need to see how the new product is selling for a while. If the new product does not sell well, there is no reason to work on additional options, is there?
I will make an official post when I’m ready for the new version to be tested.
I appreciate your interest.

A question for Red Leaf – now that you have me hooked on matcha, I am craving plain matcha, not just flavored matcha. Have you ever considered making a special sampler of your different grades of unflavored matcha? I would love to do a side by side comparison of them. When I upgraded the base of my Bilberry Matcha (seriously, I am the only person on here who bought and reviewed it?) it was such a vibrant green and though I like the classic base fine, it made me want to experience ALL the bases!

Thanks for the offer but I’m buying a purebred kitten ($900) it will be a tortie/torbie Siberian kitten. That’s why I can’t afford any more tea right now :D I will post pictures on facebook and google+ when it comes :D

They have dog like personalities (and even play fetch) and I have my 140lb English Mastiff which is more than enough puppy for me :D I wanted a cat because I can’t stand the -30 to -50 degrees Celsius weather for walking a pup. Besides a 20lb cat will outweigh most small dogs anyway :D
